We are delighted to announce that the Out and About ticket scheme will resume in January 2024. Scroll down to find out how to become a member and receive updates on Out and About ticket scheme 2024.
Out and About offers complimentary tickets to Westminster residents aged 65 or above, to attend cultural events such as concerts, exhibitions, film and theatre shows. You need to become a member of the scheme to receive tickets.
Previous offers have included tickets to the Turner Prize Exhibition at Tate Britain, Eaton Square Concerts, Young Classical Artists Trust concerts at Wigmore Hall and English National Opera dress rehearsals.
How the scheme works
Out and About runs for a season every year. Once you are a member, you will automatically receive the programme of ticket offers by email, or by post if you do not have an email address
The scheme is based entirely on voluntary donations from our partner organisations and therefore the choice of seating and the number of tickets are limited.

Out and About offers a maximum of two tickets per household for each performance. Guests should also be residents aged 65 and over unless you require a carer.
If you would like two tickets, submit the name of your guest or carer when you apply.
You will only receive confirmation if you are allocated tickets. Please do not repeat your request for tickets unless you must cancel or change your options.
All tickets should be collected at the venue, 30 minutes before the performance starts.
